Abstract:Abstract— A molecular phylogenetic investigation was carried out to clarify aspects of the systematics of Oxylobus, a primarily Mexican alpine genus of Eupatorieae. Analysis of sequence data from two nuclear (nrDNA ITS, ETS) and three plastid markers (rbcL,
ndhF, matK) confirmed the monophyly of Oxylobus and placed species of Ageratina as its sister group. A survey of 56 samples of Oxylobus using nrDNA ITS and ETS provided support for the currently accepted species, and showed the recently described O. coyule… Show more
